Is this a Delphinium

We have a plant which is supposed to be a delphinium but while the
leaves are right and the main flower is right the rest does not look
right at all. Does anyone know what it is. thanks

It's Aconitum (also known as monkshood or wolfsbane). Probably a hybrid
or cultivar of A. napellus.
It is probably the most poisonous plant commonly found in gardens.
Delphiniums are toxic, too, but are not in the same league as Aconitum.
